Thanks for the help Stephen! That was quite the response and I won't lie I got a little confused half way down! I have just seen this on the halfords website http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&productId=821139&categoryId=165671&langId=-1 would this do the job? It's got some of the products you mentioned above but some others and the applicators.

Thanks for all your help! I picked up the car yesterday and ended up going through my bank (natwest) who were the cheapest if the 5* defaqto brands - I didn't like the reviews for elephant and its affiliates! I also get to pay monthly at no extra cost! I am also going to go for a two year deferred invoice gap policy from gapinsurance.co.uk for £68 as first year is indeed covered. Thanks again for all comments! I love this forum!

This is the first non company car I have had from new and I want to give it the care and attention it deserves. As a complete amateur to cleaning cars myself, can anyone give me any tips on which cleaning kits/products I should go for? I would prefer not to spend anymore than £40-50 on the lot and would prefer an all-in kit so I don't have to order separately! Is this even possible? I'm looking for the essentials really, the nice to haves can come later once I'm up to professional valeter level!

I should find out today when I'm getting mine! I've been told if its delivered today, I can have it tomorrow! Praying for good news! I'm going to order the blue bulbs today I for the roof and footwells.

got the lights fitted. I put Red Leds in the roof lighting, (not the reading lights) and then REd in footwells and also Xenon white for the number plate. only got a picture of the interior back roof one. Will take others when dark How easy is it to change the bulbs in roof and footwells? I want blue ones but im not handy in the slightest! Also if you know a link to the correct ones that would be great!

Can anyone link me to any pics/vids of an 'S' badge on the front grille of the facelift. Ive just ordered one for my new ZS and i need an idea of where to place it. Its self adhesive so I assume i just need to stick it on and it will stay there?...

This is all really good info guys thanks! I'm definitely going to get gap now and hopefully the money I save haggling my insurance will pay for it! One more thing, return to invoice or replacement gap?

I test drove the 1.0 zetec s on Monday and fell so In love with it I had to order it! Ever since I've been having withdrawal symptoms! I've ordered a White one with 17" alloys and privacy glass which they told me would be delivered this week and I've just found out its been put back a week! I know it's not much but I don't think I've ever been this disappointed! Anyway I've been glued to this forum since Monday and you have all made me realise I made the right decision! I tend to regret my impulse decisions!! Thanks! 😎

Thanks for the tips! Will definitely try and haggle a bit now! Is there anything I need to be wary of with GAP company's on the net? There half the price of the dealers so makes me feel I'm getting a substandard product?

Hi! I've just ordered a new fiesta zs ecoboost for me and the wife. We haven't had our own car before and was hoping for a few pointers about insurance. The cheapest quote was Diamond, but there defaqto rating is 3. Does that matter? Also, should I get GAP?
